Extending earlier duality results for multiobjective programs, this paper defines dual problems for convex and generalised convex multiobjective programs without requiring a constraint qualification. The duals provide multiobjective extensions of the classical duals of Wolfe and Schechter and some of the more recent duals of Mond and Weir.
